Tenants dug up street sign post on SW corner of lot by street/alley and are now using it (along with another they swiped from somewhere) in the north yard as a support for party lights.
Garbage piled up against north side of house along alley. Tenants moved out and left it for someone else to take care of.
Correction: "SOUTH" side of house: Garbage piled up against *south* side of house along alley. Tenants moved out and left it for someone else to take care of.
See case #188409. It has been a week since that report, though the garbage has been there longer. How long do they have before another citation and another fine? Garbage piled up on south side of the house along the alley. They have not all moved out for the summer - lights on at night - so there is someone around who could be setting out the trash.
See case #188527. Garbage still piled up against house. Tenants do not seem to care about warnings or small fines. Can the fines be associated with their water bill so that it gets turned off if they do not pay?
Trash bins being stored on street.
Large (beautiful) sycamore on the SE corner of Fess/11th is encased in vines, some of which are poison ivy. This is right by the sidewalk, and appears to be in the City ROW. Is the trimming of the vines the responsibility of the owner? Elevate says IU owns this parcel. It looks like the vines are so heavy that it is stressing the tree. There is also a large maple (?) just east of it that has some vines, but it only looks like a Euonymous.
We sent in a mold test because my son has not been feeling well. The test came back with 4 different types of mold. I have complained to the landlord and they said they took a test and it came back negative. We have not seen the test and they said they have an attorney. I need to get my son out of their. Its affecting his health
My trash/recycle was not picked up this past Monday since a car parked too close to the containers. Sanitation person said she would arrange a pickup om Friday. NO ONE PICKED UPI MY TRASH. I contacted them again and the switchboard person said she would email them to call me. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I contacted the Mayors office and the recording said to leave a my phone # to receive a call back. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I understand there are phone problems but it should not mean that the residents of this city should be neglected. Regardless of the phones, my trash should have been picked up on Friday. I would like to speak to someone in charge, not some underling that will blow me off. My number is 812-327-2949
Ever since the city installed curb bump-outs for on-street parking some years ago, drivers have been blowing out tires and ruining wheel hubs at the southeast corner of Maxwell Lane and South Fess, usually as they are driving south on Fess and turning east onto Maxwell. I know this issue has come up before, and various solutions have been tried, but something more substantive needs to happen -- either reduce the projection of the curb or get rid of the bump-out altogether. I would estimate 15-20 drivers a year hit this curb. Yesterday, it happened twice. One driver was lucky and just blew out a tire. The second had to call a tow truck, which we see over and over again. Each driver thinks he/she is the only one to do this, so they don't think to tell the city. Please do something to fix this problem. It's costing people time and money on a regular basis. Thanks!
